This comes in the backdrop of the arrest of a 27-year-old woman from Bangladesh who married a delivery executive in Bengaluru. The woman, Roni Begum, went by the name of Payal Ghosh. The Byadarahalli police arrested her on Thursday based on a complaint filed by the Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO). She had been caught two years ago by officials in Kolkata when she attempted to fly to Dhaka, Bangladesh, to meet her family with a valid Indian passport. At the time, she was not arrested but officers alerted the FRRO in Bengaluru.
Based on the report from FRRO, the Byadarahalli police formed a special team to track her down. “She was working in a garment factory. She came to India in 2007, and settled in Bengaluru in 2015. She changed her identity and married a food delivery executive from Mumbai while she worked as a tailor at various garment factories,” said a police officer.
